On the Gift of Your Time

Geniuses are so very rare, a kind

unto themselves: souls who are led by God's

inspiration and manifest powers of mind,

insight, and vision that surpass all the odds.

Some possess gifts of poetry, like Keats;

others, musical composition,—like Mozart;

in the sciences and arts, some perform feats

of creativity that quicken the heart.

The inspired gifts of genius are a tool

bestowed by the Nine Muses to create

art, music, and science to uplift the fool:

to elevate him to a more dignified state.

So, if your genius be not found in this rhyme,

then give the greater gift of your precious time.
